hi! i'm eugene_w, new to site and less knowledgeable than most.
any assistance received, must be in (lay) terms.

my old laptop(xf235) uses winxp os. it has crashed to a point where it
will not boot. therefore, winxp is unavailable. using a win98 startup
disk gives me access to hard drive directory. i receive "drive don't/won't
support format" and/or "no fdisks" when i try formatting or fdisks commands.
HELP!
